Oakmont High School’s Royal Blue Regiment Marching Band and Color Guard asks each band-student family to consider a Fair Share pledge of $400 to help cover essential program expenses that extend beyond our annual budget. These costs include transportation to and from competitions, competition entry fees, instrument purchases and maintenance, music copyright fees, props, meals and snacks during competitions, uniforms, sound equipment, travel insurance, and other necessary program needs.
For comparison, many nearby high schools ask band families to contribute between $600 and $800 per student. We have worked hard to keep our request as affordable as possible, but reaching our fundraising goal is critical to providing students with a successful and rewarding season. With more than 90 students expected to participate in the Marching Band and Color Guard program this year, the need is significant. Participation in Northern California competitions is possible because of the generosity of our families and supporters. Our total fundraising goal is $63,000.
The salary for one full-time Band Director is paid by the School District.
The program is also partially funded through California Proposition 28 - Arts and Music in Schools Funding.
In addition, the program requires approximately $63,000 in pledges and donations. These funds come from band student families, local fundraising efforts, and Oakmont Field Festival proceeds.
